In 2000, Chrysler launched the PT Cruiser, a high-capacity station wagon that shocked the public with its looks. The car was made in retro style based on models of the pre-war era. Unlike the famous Volkswagen New Beetle, the PT Cruiser did not have a specific prototype. However, in his style you can trace the notes of the 1934 Airflow model. At the heart of the PT Cruiser is a front-wheel drive platform with components from the Dodge Neon. The model was produced for ten years and in 2010 it was discontinued. The second generation did not follow.

In 2006, Chevrolet showed the public the Camaro concept, which clearly discerned the features of a first-generation car. One of these concepts even appeared in the movies - in the first part of Transformers. And already in 2009, its mass production began, which lasted until 2015. The car became quite successful, and in 2015 the new generation of the legendary coupe, also created based on the car of the first generation of 1967, saw the light of day.

Camaro was not the first Chevrolet in retro style. In 2003, the company released the shocking SSR pickup roadster, which grew out of the 2000 concept of the same name. In the features of the car, you can guess the pickup truck of the 3000th series of the late 40s. However, the car was not very popular. In three years they made less than 25, 000 copies, after which production was curtailed.

Unlike the SSR, the HHR minivan wagon is much more successful. The car was created with an eye on the 1947 Chevrolet Suburban. Unlike the SSR, the HHR did not have charged engines or rear-wheel drive. The car is built on a common platform with the popular Chevrolet Captiva. Engines from 2 to 2.4 liters. The model was even delivered to Europe and produced from 2005 to 2011. The second generation was decided not to do.

Europeans are also prone to nostalgia. And there are more than enough religious models in the Old World. In 1998, Citroen showed the C3 Lumiere Concept concept car. And after three years, he was reborn into a serial C3. The features of the five-door hatchback B-class, especially in its silhouette, you can easily recognize the legendary "ugly duckling" - Citroen 2CV. The car, built on the common platform with the Peugeot 207 PF1, was quite successful and was produced until 2009. Then the second generation started. However, the features of 2CV were not so clearly traced in it. And the third generation of 2016 has been implemented in a completely different way.

Chrysler realized that the retrotome is very promising if properly implemented. This time they decided to recreate a very specific car, but already under the Dodge brand, in the range of which were very iconic cars. The 1970 Dodge Challenger is one of the most legendary coupes. It was because of his motives that in 2008 a new model was created, which is produced to this day. Rear-wheel drive, the appearance of a classic muscle car and powerful engines, combined with an affordable price (for the American market) made the car quite popular.

Another revival of the iconic European car of the past is the Fiat 500. He appeared in 2007. The ancestor of 1957 is easily recognized in a small car. The modern "five hundred" is built on a common platform with Fiat Panda and remains the most popular A-class car in Europe. And the cartoonish appearance did not prevent the small three-door hatchback from pleasing with excellent handling and decent dynamics.

Ford's first experience in reanimating its own legendary models was not very successful. The 2000 Thunderbird retrocrope is based on the eponymous and successful 1955 model. However, with nostalgia in the design is clearly overdone. The audience coolly met the car. In five years, just over 60, 000 have been produced. Thus, the eleventh generation was the last. After this, we no longer saw the Thunderbird models in the Ford gamut.
